That's exactly what I was saying. Just because Tottenham started the season poorly doesn't mean it'll stay that way. This losing streak is bound to end eventually. I wouldn't want to get caught up in this streak. Yes Manchester United is the favorite, but I don't want to bet on their win at 1.52 odds and have my parlay lose. They didn't start the season well either. To be honest both teams are in really bad form and desperately need points.
I think we should either skip betting on this game entirely or stick to goal bets. I'm not sure if it'll be a high scoring game though. It could end up with 2-3 goals, you can try this one if your bookmaker offer that kind of bet.

The element of surprise is one that you can't take away in the beautiful game of football. That Tottenham has been poor since the start of the season is not a criteria for anyone to assume that Manchester United is going to have an easy game going into this game. If you ask me Manchester United has not also impressed me so far this season.

So Tottenham has a great chance of getting a win, these two teams always like to give out their best when ever they meet, and I know that this time is not going to be different. Tottenham could also kick off a winning streak from this match.

After taking a look at all the EPL fixtures for game week 6, I realized no fixtures among the weekend matches is going to be easy. People are carried away with the Manchester United vs spurs game and don’t even realise that there is another big game the following day, I mean Manchester city vs Liverpool. This used to be the most anticipated match in the last few seasons. Also the Chelsea vs Bournemouth game is another fixture to look at. All this match look really tight and one could hardly predict who’s gonna win any of them. There is also Arsenal vs Leeds which is looking like an easy win for Arsenal but trust me it’s a trap and only EPL fans and bettor will understand me better, the timing alone is off for me, again its schedule for 12:30pm after an international break which is really a tricky one.

I'm really looking forward to seeing Moises Caicedo start for Chelsea after suffering an injury calf. The blues do missed him a lot and his absence have been really felted in the team with the midfield not working and Chelsea are getting possessed by their oppositions. Chelsea manager, Xabi Alonso can really make good use of a player like Moises Caicedo in the Midfield.

Chelsea will face Bournemouth and we know how challenging this game will be for the Blues since they're not in good shape and winning such games doesn't come easy. The blues will always find a way to make sure they trapped themselves with better footings and grounding harder to win 3 points.

[Crypto_Timothy]

They keep doing this, like they will start good but somewhere after halftime, you see the Blue doing draw - draw and even struggling to maintain the draw, can I blame it on maybe no strong Midfield in place just like you suggested but then the Blues need to give us hope and start maintaining winning matches. For Caicedo, the midfield for sure needs him back, I will say I was one of those who doubted the early Moses but well he been able to improve and just play wonderful football and we definitely need him back

You won't see Caicedo to come back soon. He's still getting sidelined, and according from the new report, he's not participating in the latest training session of Chelsea along with Joao Pedro and Reece James.

So disappointed with how Chelsea didn't even try to find someone worthy enough to be his replacement, and guess what? I think they will be facing another difficult time against Bournemouth.

They will play without many of their key players, and i'm doubting them to get three points in this game. No Caicedo, James, Joao Pedro, how can they survive in this game?

There is no such thing as an easy match in the Premier League or rather, every match is a tough one. There are some great games this weekend. The Manchester City vs. Liverpool match is the one that really stands out to me. Manchester City remains unbeaten will they suffer their first loss against Liverpool? Anything is possible, though I don't think it will happen.

It’s also harder to make a prediction because the league is resuming after a short break. Plus, players like Cody Gakpo are missing, which is a significant loss.

[AprilioMP]

Manchester United this season, with Rashford starting, has been criticized by Carrick for his performance last season, which is so different from this season's, with five matches played.
I see Manchester United's difficulties as limited, and they could change back to the way they were when Carrick was appointed interim manager.
Tottenham, I have no comment. They've been overly extravagant in transfers, but I don't think it's extravagant with the players they've brought in. Perhaps the problem lies with De Zerbi.
As for betting on Manchester United, I don't think it's too risky.

I’d be happy if United started winning, but on the other hand, it’s hard to believe that Tottenham will still be in last place with two points after six rounds. Fulham has a great chance of picking up points against Ipswich, this means that if Tottenham loses, they will be alone in last place. Overall, I’m pessimistic and probably even think it will end in a draw - a result that would be a failure for both teams.
As for Rashford, he hasn't lived up to expectations, I thought he might be useful for rotation games, but it seems he has no intention of contributing and isn't even making an effort.

That’s right. A draw could be a setback for both teams, since they both desperately need the full three points to improve their standing in the standings. Come to think of it, Tottenham still has a chance to take home three points from Old Trafford, so this match could be the one that gives them their first win. *This is just my prediction regarding Spurs’ first win.

Carrick seems likely to keep Rashford in the starting lineup. He’d be better suited to come off the bench when the situation is in their favor or in other situations where Carrick deems it necessary to bring him in.

Exactly, noon of those matches you listed here are easy as they thought. Talking about man utd playing against spour and Arsenal against Leeds this matches are drap to gamblers, some guys believe man utd will beat spour forgotten that spour are so desperate to at list record a 3 points. They've played 5 straight matches without win any of them of which I'm not sure if they'll afford to lose this match the least they can play is draw. Arsenal look more easier in wining their match  but Leeds isn't in a bad for too well shouldn't be surprised that Arsenal might even play draw. for like 2 seasons now Bournemouth has been a treat to Chelsea which true out last season noon of team was able to record 3 points which we saw them play draw twice last season, also Liverpool against man city is another tough match this weekend, man city will be hope to keep their 6th winning for the season but I'm not sure if they'll win Liverpool, because Liverpool isn't on a bad form, to me is either Liverpool win man city or they secure 1 point each. And with man city situation their players are not a good mood and this can easily cost loosing to Liverpool this weekend.

Carrick seems likely to keep Rashford in the starting lineup. He’d be better suited to come off the bench when the situation is in their favor or in other situations where Carrick deems it necessary to bring him in.

But in this match, I think it will be very close considering both teams desperately need the three points to improve their current standings whether Man United or Tottenham.
It's a little easier for Man United because this match will be at home, which will certainly make it easier for them to get the three points they desire. However, the visitors are coming with a very strong squad especially as they're also looking for points, so it promises to be a very intense match at Old Trafford.

However, I think it's better to be on the bench for now, as his current form is still minimal, and Carrick still has other players he can rely on in the same position as last season when Rashford was still a Barcelona player, where other players were assigned to the same position as Rashford.

Bournemouth should not be underestimated because of how dangerous there are, I understand you regarding Chelsea will face a lot of challenges in this match, because this opponent are full of surprises when it comes to playing against top teams. Chelsea's performance has not moved to the stage I wanted, even though I knew that the season is not that far, but I expected them to have a very wonderful beginning. It is not late let's see how the match will be but one thing I know is that Bournemouth is a very dangerous Club.

Xavier Alonso is in big trouble because he has not delivered the reason you was hired, but I will assume that he has plans which I am very sure we will start seeing it from their next match, just that the opponent are very good, that is why I said it's not going to be easy for Chelsea but let's see how the result of the match is going to be.

Firstly, Xabi Alonso should change his formation of playing a back 3, that is the reason why he is loosing too many possessions in the midfield, he is playing full-backs in the midfield area, and Caicedo out injured haven’t really helped Alonso to settle with his players in midfield, James playing midfield is something that haven’t helped the manager, I don’t like the formation of playing a back 3, and that requires him to play a two number 10 in midfield, which is why Morgan Rodgers and Cole Palmer are playing together, and when Caicedo is back from injury it requires him dropping certain player in midfield, likely player to get dropped is Romeo Lavia, but my instinct tells me that Alonso prefers Lavia ahead of Caicedo in midfield, we wait to see what happens when Caicedo is back from injury.

[Ashawowo(OS)]

So Tottenham has a great chance of getting a win, these two teams always like to give out their best when ever they meet, and I know that this time is not going to be different. Tottenham could also kick off a winning streak from this match.

Tottenham last 5 EPL matches: LDDLL
Manchester United last 5 EPL matches: DWLLD

Tactically, we'll give it to United since they're home but it doesn't always play out that way. Somehow I've more faith in Manchester United, even in their weak form, they look stronger than Tottenham and they take home matches very seriousl. Carrick would do everything in his power to win this match because his management is beginning to look like a replica of Amorim at Manchester United.

We’ll be hosting Manchester City at Anfield amid the club’s ongoing legal issues with English soccer authorities.
It’s up to them how they resolve their case, but for us, Manchester City’s visit to Anfield this time around isn’t about seeing them as a team dealing with legal issues—it’s about facing a strong team against whom we must aim for three points.
As for Manchester City, they’re here simply to demonstrate their strength, so Liverpool can’t afford to let this opportunity slip away when it arises.

Leave aside the legal issues facing the club and the player's role is not to interfere so I'm sure Manchester city players will perform as they normally would. Although there is definitely a feeling of being stuck but because they are professional players and are paid so there is no reason to worry. Against Liverpool who are in the current conditions, the advantage is in Manchester City, so it's not about playing at Anfield but about how Liverpool are now who have not fully been able to perform optimally.

The match will be a challenge for both teams. Both teams will surely prepare the best game strategies. After all, both are big and strong teams. And they have their own problems. Hopefully, these problems will not affect the team's performance, and they can show a truly entertaining match. I don't see a team that has more advantage, Man City is in good form, and Liverpool might use this moment to bounce back.

Sure, Moises Caicedo absence has really affected their previous games, and Chelsea needs him in the midfield to strengthen their squad. Chelsea midfield was very terrible in the previous games, other teams have study their way since Enzo left the club, they believe their midfield is not as strong as they were last season. However, Chelsea needs to sign more players in the next transfer window, if any of their key players injured, it will affect their game.

Bournemouth is one of the stubborn teams in the Premier League since last season. Bournemouth has not been in their best form this season, while Chelsea is also struggling with midfield issues, but Chelsea should be able to use this advantage to beat Bournemouth at home.

Xabi Alonso must save his job by getting a win against Bournemouth. In my opinion, I think he should give Estêvâo enough playing time this season, he deserves enough playing time at Chelsea to prove himself to the team.

If there is any team that will benefit from this Manchester City scandal that is going on, it is Arsenal. If Manchester City has points deducted when the appeal is rejected, Arsenal will go ahead to win the league consecutively.

Well Leeds United is capable of leading Arsenal astray if Arsenal haven't fixed the error from their last game against Brighton. Arsenal are the Champions, but they do not have immunity to loss. This is the game week when anything can happen. Tottenham might have their first victory in the league, Arsenal getting a draw with Leeds, and Bournemouth beating Chelsea at home. As for Manchester City vs Liverpool, any team can go ahead to win.

I don't see a team that has more advantage, Man City is in good form, and Liverpool might use this moment to bounce back.

The match is important for both teams because the players have had a few days off and will be playing with renewed enthusiasm. Enzo Maresca has taken the team to a great level because Man City has not lost a match yet. They will want to maintain that same consistency in the match against Liverpool. Liverpool have shown great strength in the defensive phase and like the previous match, the team will play against Man City and deserve to win.

The match will be important and challenging for both teams and I see the possibility of Man City winning the match more but Enzo Maresca is well aware that it will not be easy to fool Liverpool's defense and score goals. This manager will adopt a plan very well in terms of how to use the players in the attacking part of the team because the only objective is to win.

Everton is up for sale, Freidkin, the American owner, has listed the club for sale at the sum of 800 million euro inclusive of debts, of about 380 million euros. The trend revolving on this recent update is that foreign owners don't feel comfortable anymore in the EPL, since they're unable to invest in the club, without being called out for violating rules.

I pity that it gives the impression that, because we have a legal case ongoing, we won't lose. If you think we are going to lose to Liverpool, do your calculations carefully, because tomorrow they might be handed a different formation, and we'll rely on them, so don't expect us to go easy on Liverpool because we have a case. They should not even waste their money placing a bet on Liverpool winning against us it will just be a waste.

They think Liverpool can take advantage of us by now. A lot of people should understand how we work, and that is the only way things can even get better, because no way will happen, and in the game I have confidence in my boys, especially Haaland, because I know what they are capable of doing, even if it is going to be a collective effort. After all, that is one of the ways that we are going to be able to do what we want by being a team.
